Fluoride is important for healthy teeth, as it restores essential minerals to your enamel. It also provides an amazing benefit for children by strengthening their developing teeth and helping them grow into healthy adult smiles. If you’re experiencing sensitivity when you eat or drink different temperatures, fluoride can help, because it strengthens tooth enamel and wards off decay. We use a fluoride rinse for most patients, but those with an elevated risk of decay will receive a brush-on fluoride gel treatment. This extra step provides a concentrated dose of fluoride and helps keep your teeth healthy and strong.
